Electric heaters are becoming natural choice!

CNMOnline, a well reputed online store selling electrical appliances,
says that electric heating is going to more natural choice for
heating. Electric heaters offer many benefits over conventional
heaters. They not only make your life easy and comfortable but also
help improve quality or environment.
Though electric heaters were always preferred over gas or oil heating
systems, they were even more in demand with increasing requirement for
technology for low carbon heating. In its efforts to meet its green
targets, the UK government has made it clear that electric heating and
use of decarbonized grid should be preferred over other means of
heating.
Electric heaters are highly efficient as there is no wastage of fuel
and carbon emission is at reduced levels. They can be installed easily
unlike gas heaters and can be taken anywhere according to
requirements. Moreover, Electric heaters can be controlled from one
central point and offer flexibility and energy efficiency. Moreover,
you can reduce energy usage by using them on room-to-room basis.

I don't know where you are. But, where I are, electric heat is far more
expensive than gas or oil or propane.
Is a centralized power plant more efficient? My furnace is 90% plus percent
efficiency. How about your power plants? Do they vent through PVC pipe, and
do they condense the warer out of the fumes?
I see you're in UK. I'm in the "Good ol' US of A". Good day!

Yep, electric resistance heat never wins, 1 therm of natural gas into a 95%
condensing furnaceKBTU into your house, 1 therm into a natural gas power
plant=maybe 35KBTU into your home. Even if you have hydroelectric power, I
would still prefer to use a heat pump if it must be electric. You can get a
window shaker A/C and heat pump (has a reversing valve) with electric
resistance backup heat strips for not much more than an overpriced POS
"infrared" cube heater or fake "Amish" fireplace would cost.

No. On a cold winter month in my little house. If my old oil furnace ran 8
hours out of 24. I would be using 6 gallons per day . $21 dollars per day.
$ 600 per month. If I ran constant 7kw it would cost $20 per day. I based
this on 80kbtu furnace. Electricity $.12 hour kwh . In reality I would
likely use less electricity because it's localized heaters.
My brother uses electric because it's cheaper for him.

I got the best of both worlds.... dual fuel.... 4 ton heat pump with a 2
stage 75,000btu nat gas furnace. In these parts, I set the balance point to
35F. Even when its cold as hell, my gas and electric bills combined don't
exceed $170

And thanks to all the suckers that spent $5k on new condensing furnaces
over the past 10 years and helped drive natural gas prices through the
floor, I now appreciate my 35-year-old 75% efficient, low-maintenance /
low-cost-to-repair natural gas furnace even more.

Thankyou for doing that.
Because you and countless other people who have a blown fanbelt and are
told that you need a new furnace (and AC for good measure), you people
have helped to drive down the price of natural gas in north america.
And because you have driven down the price of nat-gas, I can keep
running my 36-year-old furnace (original furnace in the house I bought
12 years ago) and not feel too bad about the extra $100 a year I'm
paying for natural gas vs paying $5k for a new furnace and never seeing
the return on that outlay in my lifetime.
The AC unit I have was probably 5 to 10 years old when I bought the
house, which makes it 17 to 20 years old, and it still works fine and I
ain't touching it.
The original gas water heater started to leak 5 years ago, so I went to
home despot and bought a replacement for about $300 and installed it
myself.
So in 12 years I spent $300, and in 5 years you spent $5k.

This is a rare moment when someone is polite, on Alternating Havoc.
Anyhow, I'm pleased that my decisions made your life easier, buddy.

Thanx for not supporting your local economy, and helping to keep small
businesses open. The economy is already bad enough and getting worse with
your help. thanx for making it that much worse for 20 - 30 more people that
in one form or fashion work for or are directly affected by your local small
businesses.

I didn't buy it, it came with the house, and thus far the only repair it has
needed is a cleanout of a plugged condensate drain trap.
It is a furnace that doesn't even officially exist anymore, a Quatro True
Blue 90 made by Consolidated Industries, now a part of Texas Furnace
Company.
